Q. You keep calling them retirement homes. How would you stop some 30-40 year old with children buying them?

A. You can't, but we don't think they would be attractive to younger people.

C. I have issues with large gardens being built on like this, why would you do it?

A. The gardens are getting increasingly difficult to manage as we get older.

C. I still don't see the need to sell off the garden, you should get someone to do it, or move somewhere smaller and let someone who wants a big garden have it.

Q. What's your timescale on this development?

A. Within the next 10 years.

Q. Would they definitely be bungalows?

A. Yes we have listened to the feedback from other meetings about the residents getting older and wanting to downsize and also about the problem of needing homes for younger people. We think this site would be unsuitable for starter homes and is ideally suited to bungalows for retired people.

Q. Would the access be an adopted road?

A. No a private drive.

Q. Where will the accesses be to these bungalows at the back of Britten Close?

A. There are two options:
  1. We would propose to lose half of the garage at 1 Britten Close and effectively double the width of the drive used to access the bungalows on Raunds Road.
  2. Alternatively, each of 2 and 3 Britten Close would lose half of a garage and create an entrance between them
However these are just ideas, and it is early days.
